Disposable masks are made of non-woven fabrics and contain no metal. However, after aseptic treatment, they will not pollute the environment and have no recycling value. They should be put into a dry trash can.
Compared with other cloth masks, disposable masks can't be cleaned. Because the fiber arrangement of this mask has certain directionality, it is easy to be torn when cleaning, losing its original effect, and also leading to its strength and durability being inferior to other masks.

Other wastes
1. Other garbage (called dry garbage in Shanghai) includes bricks and tiles, muck, toilet waste paper, paper towels and other wastes that are difficult to recycle, dust, food bags (boxes) and so on. Sanitary landfill can effectively reduce the pollution of groundwater, surface water, soil and air.
2. Big bones are classified as "other rubbish" because it is "difficult to corrode". Corn kernels, nut shells, fruit kernels and chicken bones are all kitchen waste.
3. Toilet paper: Toilet paper and toilet paper are soluble in water, not recyclable "paper", and there are similar cigarette cases.
4. Bagging kitchen waste: Ordinary plastic bags, even though degradable, are far more difficult to corrode than kitchen waste. In addition, plastic bags themselves are recyclable garbage. The correct way is to dump the kitchen waste into the trash can and throw the plastic bag into the "recyclable garbage" bucket.
5. Shell: In garbage classification, the logo of "shell melon skin" is peanut shell, which really belongs to kitchen waste. Waste cooking oil left at home is also classified as "kitchen waste".
6. Dust: In garbage classification, dust belongs to "other garbage", while litter belongs to "kitchen waste", including flowers that have failed at home.
